Living in Desperate Times
Today, we are living in desperate times.
Yet, the Church is not desperate before God in prayer.
Ever wondered why that is?
The ‘Church’ doesn’t want its status quo ruffled.
The ‘Church’ is about to get a big shock — following which, it will enter a new Golden Age — or it will die.
The LORD is calling the Church to its knees — how will your Church answer?
Will you receive the coming move of God by His Holy Spirit?
Life or death — the choice is ours!
As for me and my house . . .
Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me,
Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me.
Break me, melt me, mould me, fill me.
Spirit of the Living God, Fall afresh on me.

Chris Bennett came to salvation in 1962 but didn’t begin ministry until 2007 — a late-comer! Now mandated by The LORD to prophesy and open old wells of revival in the U.K., but especially in Wales. He has also operated Healing Rooms, and worked with deliverance teams, all with his wife, Linda. Happily now doing whatever The LORD asks of them! Founder, with wife Linda, of their ministry The Upper Room Encounter.
Even though, none of us like what has come upon us, I’m starting to realise that it was necessary. Unexpected circumstances developed in some of our lives where we could no longer be distracted by all that was around us; we remained still. We saw ourselves for who we truly were and just how grounded in faith we were in God. For some of us, that came as a bit of a shock. Some are still recovering from the effects of the last month or so. Yet, even knowing that the crushing has been difficult on some or many of us, there is hope generated in all of it. Our hope is ub Christ Jesus and that has become a reality that is more genuine than ever before. Even in our brokenness, we are learning to love ourselves and to really understand that Jesus Christ loves us so very much and wants the very best for us. It’s been an awakening and a sifting of all that was not necessary in our life including some of our mindsets. Until yesterday, I wondered why all of this had come upon me. And, now, that my strength and health is returning, I’m grateful for what I went through. I am drawn all that much closer to Jesus and see Him through much clearer lenses. He is so very beautiful! All that He does is to draw us closer to Him because He is Love and in Him is Light and Truth. My Beloved Bridegroom, how I love You. Please draw them all into Your Kingdom!
Amen. Thank you. Fall fresh on me.
The church is comfortable and doesn’t want to repent and change. It’s in a weaken and sinful state. A change will be forced by God very soon!
Hello Chris
The church will never die because Jesus said He would build His church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it .
And also He is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle. He knows how to discipline His children and how to wake His children up

Hi Maureen,
I agree that the Church will never die but individual churches will die. There is no life in them now, so they will either be revived and live, or they will fade away, die, completely.
I have been trying to understand this kind of word for some time. I know there’s a gigantic difference between the sleeping church and those who are alive in Christ. I am a son of God my Father through Jesus. I see in the bible that everything Jesus did came through rest. I can’t get myself to desperate and I do look to the Father on how to pray. I don’t find either the Son or the Father in anything but rest. How can I be desperate when they’re at rest?
I am being very honest when I ask this question. I would really like your thoughts on this.

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest
25At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

主正在呼召教会屈膝——我的教会我相信也会接受圣灵来运作。
我接受神借着圣灵来的行动
生或死——选择权在我们！
至于我和我家。. .
永生神的灵，重新降临在我身上，永生神的灵，重新
降临在我身上。
打破我，融化我，塑造我，充满我。
永生神的灵，重新降临在我身上。
阿们。
我爱你耶稣，为了更新我的灵，我需要圣灵充满我，指教我更新我，提拔我到耶稣的思想意念里与祂心意项链!如今再来的君王是荣耀威严的君王!
因此，永生神的灵，重新降临在我身上，永生神的灵，
重新降临在我身上。
打破我，融化我，塑造我，充盈我。
永生神的灵，重新降临在我身上，为得是亲眼看见你。
献上我生命的祭就是活祭，愿你喜悦，我倾倒我自己给你使用，因我爱你。
祈求圣灵给我力量完成你的袮的神的心愿!
[ HKP : Google Translate : “I love you Jesus, and in order to renew my spirit, I need the Holy Spirit to fill me, teach me to renew me, and lift me up into the necklace of Jesus’ mind and His heart! Now the king who comes again is a glorious and majestic king! Therefore, the Spirit of the living God has come upon me again, the Spirit of the living God, Come back upon me. Break me, melt me, shape me, fill me. The Spirit of the living God has come upon me again so that I may see you with my own eyes. The sacrifice that gives my life is a living sacrifice, and may you be pleased, and I pour out myself to give it to you, because I love you. Ask the Holy Spirit to give me the strength to fulfill your God’s desire!” ]
